Wow - such great replies - thanks everyone...... its started my New Years Eve with a huge smile!!

You look amazing!!! Thank you so much for the inspiration! I love, love, love seeing people's before and after pics - just makes it crystal clear that the weight WILL come off if we use our sleeve!

PamelaAM - I also loved seeing the before and after photos when I was making my decision.... it really does inspire people, so I am right there with you!!

You look amazing!!!! What a fun journey we've been on this year! All I can say is "Ditto" - I would do it again in a heartbeat!!! I hope you're having as much fun buying clothes as I am! :) Happy New Year!

NtvTxn - I have had fun! And I spend a lot of my time rummaging through 2nd hand shops and rastros (like a 2nd hand market) here in Spain... getting some fabulous bargains....usually for 1 or 2 euros each item. So I can have a lot of new stuff for very little cost in this credit crunch time. I'd much rather have 15 new things than one new dress/top !

Wow, I thought you were already at your target!!! You look stunning! Wonderful and inspiring, thank you!

Thanks Lila.....the 147lbs target is one my Dr gave me, and one where my hubby said he'd quit smoking (being a 40 a day smoker for the past 37 yrs!!!) He actually gave up 14 weeks ago, under his own steam, so I have to get to target now.... I might try nd go a bit lower but thats the first stop for me.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I love this post, you're gorgeous, and I love the Santa Baby outfit ! ! ! Major cheers to you and all of your success! ! !

Thanks Tiff - you have been such an inspiration to so many people here. The Sexy Santa outfit went down very well at my husbands Christmas gigs.... and as I made it it was the smallest thing I have made myself size wise, and a dream to fit for the first time in my life!!

You have done an AWESOME JOB. It's a good thing you aren't the "real" Mrs. Santa ... otherwise, Santa might forget to take his journey around the world every December 24th.

Congratulations on a new life and new outlook on life.

LMAO!!!! tongue.gif

You look great! I love your story and it gives me hope and helps me realize I have made the right decision! My date is sometime in Feb.I am supposed to find out Tues. the REAL date. Cant wait!! Thank you!

Go for it!! Good luck with your date.... keep us informed and it'll come round quicker than you think.

You look beautiful! But I have to ask how the hell are you able to keep your boobs!?!

I was lucky enough to have had a Tummy Tuck and a boob lift 4 yrs ago now..... so my excess skin was cut away then.....although a lot of my excess fat is now left on my love handles around my back. Thank fully although I have lost some of my boobs, the shape has remained so I don't think I'll need to panic too much about them when I reach target.

2010 has been the new start in my life, with the sleeve op which I had done on June 10th.

I'm now within 14lbs of my target, and really cannot really comprehend how much my life has changed as a result of it.

I no longer have a full plate, I no longer get the real hunger feelings that I used to, I get hungry but only for something small and that then satisfies me.

I have bones, lots of them... and they show, I have muscle definition, I have more energy...... the lists go on and on....... I feel and (am told) look sexy.....I no longer worry about my double chin in photos...

Money well spent for a new life..... if you're on the edge of making the decision to have the op then do so...... don't regret not being to eat food... as you'll still be able to eat everything, but in smaller portions.

I've had a 2nd chance at life.... and I'm grabbing it with both hands in 2011.... I'll be at target before my birthday in April -what more could I ask for??!!

Happy New Year to you all... wishing you all a happy and healthy 2011.

Photos taken Xmas Day........29 weeks post op, and way, way back.... at my heaviest in 2004 I think.....

You look amazing!!! Congratulations on your success and happiness.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
